AT INTENSE, WE HAVE ONE GOAL - TO PROVIDE THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE.
Our team of designers, engineers and product experts are focused on one thing every
day: your experience on the bike. We build bikes that are as thrilling to look at as they
are to ride, and we build them for the select few of you who understand the difference
and refuse to settle for anything else.
From the early days of Intense, when founder Jeff Steber worked alone in his garage to
today, where a crew of talented people work in a Temecula, CA factory, Intense has been
a brand built on passion by forward thinkers who, even today, love nothing more than
to throw a leg over a sweet bike and head out for a rip. We’re so glad you’ve joined us.
Welcome to Intense, enjoy your experience.
